Each child ticket costs £8
Work out the cost of each adult ticket. (4)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 15 | P1 | for process to find number of child tickets, eg \(180 \div 100 \times 60\ (= 108)\) oe |
| P1 | for process to find total cost of child tickets, eg \(\text{``}108\text{''} \times 8\ (= 864)\) or \([108] \times 8\) OR for process to find number of adult tickets, eg \(180 - [108]\ (= 72)\) or \(180 \div 5 \times 2\ (= 72)\) oe or \(180 \times \dfrac{100 - 60}{100}\) | |
| P1 | for a complete process, eg \((1944 - \text{``}864\text{''}) \div \text{``}72\text{''}\) or \((1944 - [108] \times 8) \div (180 - [108])\) | |
| A1 | cao |
Additional guidance
Where [108] is what they clearly think is 60% of 180 but can’t be greater than 180
